Configuring Access Appliance for NetBackup client

Access Appliance 8.0 supports NetBackup client versions 8.1.2.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.0.0.1, 9.1, and 10.0.

To back up your data present on filesystems which are present on Access Appliance with NetBackup, you must register the installed and configured NetBackup primary server with Access Appliance.

To configure NetBackup Client for Access Appliance, perform the following tasks in the following order:

  • Set the IP_ADDRESS_FAMILY option in the NetBackup bp.conf file for the host to AF_UNSPEC.

    # bpsetconfig IP_ADDRESS_FAMILY = AF_UNSPEC

    # bpgetconfig
IP_ADDRESS_FAMILY = AF_UNSPEC

  • Restart the services after making this change.
